Would you go with the turbo-4, V6, or stripper V8 model? Hmmm ... hadn't really thought of it since I'm not in the market for a new car ... & probably never will be again. HOWEVER, I'd probably either go with the V6 or a stripper V8 ... & of those 2, probably the V6.

Ohhhhhh, yes, indeed! With that list, I can see why. Of those you mentioned, Linkin Park is my favorite. I'd have to agree ... from personal experience as well.

A friend has amassed a sizable collection of GL & AW models ... a bit jealous of him. Being unemployed with no income since September 2013 has kinda killed the collecting for me. If I ever get a job, I'll be getting some of those models! Yeah, just a bit of space.
